CENSUS TAKERS NOW COUNTING THE JAPS SPECIAL ENUMERATORS APPOINTED TO ROUND UP THE WILY AND ELUSIVE ORIENTAL. Supervisor Rowan Says a Thorough Canvas will be Made of Orange County—Fullerton People Combing the City for More Names to Add to Roll. A special census of Japanese residents of Orange county is to be taken. Census Supervisor C. G. Rowan of San Diego was in Santa Ana recently for the purpose of appointing three inspectors and one interpreter to make this special count. A few days ago a special census of the Japanese in San Diego county showed twice as many Japanese there as had been shown in the reports of the regular census enumerators. United States Senator Phelan at Washington charged that the Japs systematically had been evading the census in order to reduce the census totals that might be used as propaganda against the Japanese. Whether or not his charge is well founded has not been proven. Nevertheless the fact remains that a supplemental census for Japanese has developed. Chamber of Commerce and be enumerated. The taking of the quarries and manufacturing census is now starting. DISCUSS WINTER INJURY OF WALNUT TREES What Causes the Die-Back and How to Remedy It. A summary of conclusions reached by Dr. L. D. Batchelor and Dr. H. S. Reed of the College of Agriculture, University of California, in a pamphlet entitled, "Winter Injury of Die-Back of the Walnut," follows: Winter injury of die-back of walnuts is characterized by a sudden death of the tops of the trees. Such injury is usually first noticeable during the early spring following the dormant period. The most common causes of the winter injury or die-back are: 1. Early autumn frosts kill the immature growing shoots. Young walnut trees are more subject to injury from this cause than older trees, because the former are usually later in maturing their new wood. Such frosts cause the foliage to drop prematurely and injure the growing tips of the twigs. The denuded twigs are subject to further injury from subsequent fall and winter sunburn. The presence or extent of this injury is usually overlooked until the following spring. To reduce the danger from autumn frosts it is advisable to withhold the late summer irrigation in order to promote the early maturity of the trees. 2. Winter drought causes die-back mendation, secured piles either stole the carpentry equipment to drive or threw accomplices. This is the logical increase in auto theft in Southern California and Auto Club detectives' necessity for trief-gang side help" in their case. "Auto thieves are much the same prim breaking gangs," ex theft bureau. "Unabashed police net with ordinance are now 'planting' homes where several for the purpose of reruns as to when is steal the high priced item." It is stated that theft holds true in regard for "jobs" as night car garages. Several insurers "night men" with expensive cars charge of a garage after had gone home. In examination of the creed and ever the add been found to be spun. Don't change a rewarns the Auto Club, a new man without look your satisfaction, for the part of the thieves an alarming rate through eastern counties. AUTOMOBILE Additional "dope" on motor car census of A compiled by the Auto Southern California s as had been shown in the reports of the regular census enumerators. United States Senator Phelan at Washington charged that the Japs systematically had been evading the census in order to reduce the census totals that might be used as propaganda against the Japanese. Whether or not his charge is well founded has not been proven. Nevertheless the fact remains that a supplemental census for Japanese has developed the fact that enumerators in the regular canvass missed many Japs. In San Diego it was found that often only a part of the children of a family had been reported. "A thorough canvass is to be made in Orange county," said Rowan. "There are parts of the county where there are scores of Japanese, and parts where Japs are very few and far between. We want a complete count. The inspectors who will make this count will be deputized under the Department of Commerce, I don't know that there is any considerable number of Japanese in Orange county who were not found by the enumerators." There are a number of farmers of Tustin, West Orange and other places near Santa Ana who are storing up trouble for themselves. They are men who have so far failed to make the agricultural reports asked for by the census enumerators. The census supervisor has received reports from a number of enumerators in which the enumerators give a list of names and say that all reasonable effort to secure answers to the agricultural census report from those men have failed. "With those cases," said Supervisor Rowan, "we immediately send a registered letter enclosing a blank and demanding an immediate answer. If an immediate answer is not forthcoming, my office forthwith turns the cases over to the United States Department of Justice. The Department of Justice will not mince matters. Proceedings will be taken at once, and the person who has put off and evaded making his report will have a fine to pay, and he will have to give the desired information, too." Fullerton Canvass.

A special canvass is being conducted at Fullerton by the Board of Trade. Census Supervisor Rowan was notified that the enumeration at Fullerton had not been satisfactory. He accepted the co-operation of H. L. Wilber, secretary of the Fullerton Board of Trade, and a house to house canvass is arraigned for. Wherever a person is found who has been missed, he is enumerated by John T. Greene, appointed by Rowan as enumerator for that purpose. "I feel that Santa Ana has had a very full enumeration," said Rowan this morning. "For that the Chamber of Commerce and the Register are to be thanked. The Chamber of Commerce here and the one in Riverside got on the job early, and did work that helped get a good census. Some of the other cities are just now getting waked up to the value of co-operation of that sort and with them it is almost too late to do much good." The population, agricultural and irrigation census for the eleventh congressional district, in which Rowan is supervisor, is now practically completed. Many precincts are completed. In Santa Ana and in a number of other places those who have been missed in the census may report at once to the 4. Alkali soils containing such a high salt content as to injure the root system of walnut trees, also cause the tops of the trees to die back in response to the root injury. In the initial stages of alkali injury the leaves turn brown at the margin and fall prematurely. The denuded shoots sometimes put out a new set of leaves in the fall. The top of the tree is lost. The recovery of alkali-injured trees has never been noted by the writers. If injury is being caused by the use of irrigation water containing too much alkali evidently the use of such water should be discontinued. DON'T CHANGE YOUR CHAUFFEUR "Don't change your chauffeur" is the sequel to "What is your chauffeur doing?" as announced by the Automobile Club of Southern California for its second possible film title in its drive against auto thieves here who are raiding private garages under the guise of professional drivers. Or if you must change your chauffeur, look up the credentials of your new one with a microscope before you employ him, for fresh evidence accumulated since the first announcement was made by the theft bureau that Southern California is the mecca of the most dangerous type of thief to make his appearance in police records, shows that many local motorists have suffered losses here which have not been placed on the records. According to the testimony of car owners here they have employed as drivers men who submitted what appeared to be worthy letters of recom- AMERICAN FOREIGN As an argument for citation of the Treaty on the Wilson Covenant out change," it has repeatedly by the defense document that delay United States of its trade—that immediate and a return to peace—the only action possible the commercial interest States and especially commerce.

Exports from the U.S. all countries for last year to $7,922,150,502. Imp mendation, secured positions and then either stole the car they were employed to drive or turned it over to accomplices. This is the logical outcome of the increase in auto thefts throughout Southern California at this time, say Auto Club detectives and also of the necessity for thief-gangs to have "inside help" in their depredations. "Auto thieves are now operating on much the same principle as housebreaking gangs," explains the club theft bureau. "Unable to evade the police net with ordinary thefts, they are now 'planting' spies in wealthy homes where several cars are owned, for the purpose of notifying confederates as to when is the best time to steal the high priced machines." It is stated that the same thing holds true in regard to men applying for "jobs" as night caretakers of public garages. Several instances are cited where "night men" have made off with expensive cars when left in charge of a garage after the proprietor had gone home. In every instance an examination of the credentials presented and ever the address given have been found to be spurious. Don't change a reliable chauffeur, warns the Auto Club, and don't hire a new man without looking him up to your satisfaction, for this practice on the part of the thieves is growing at an alarming rate throughout the southern counties. AUTOMOBILE CENSUS Additional "dope" on its first official motor car census of America has been compiled by the Automobile Club of Southern California showing that at United States amounted to $3,904,406. 327. This is a total of over eleven billion dollars—quite a tidy sum. And this enormous and unprecedented foreign trade occurred before the Treaty of Peace with the Wilson Covenant attached, was ratified. This is not an argument for or against the Treaty or the Covenant. Rather it is an illustration of the weakness and unreliability of many of the arguments put forth by the Democratic administration, to force the American people to plunge into an experiment without due care. The Republican party prefers to examine an important contract before signing it. The Democratic party goes it blind—"follows the leader." HANDY YOUNG MAN AROUND THE STATION "Nas" Has All Kinds of Friends, but as yet has not Found the Guy from Whom He will Take Orders. "Nas, the mechanician," is the title given to a young man one may see about the fire department and police station, who has taken upon himself to see that the private cars of several gentlemen about the place are in tip-top condition and always ready to go. Nas has worked at various trades, but unless his boss weighs his words properly and conducts himself in staid and precise manner, Nas ups and tells him to go where icicles were never known to thrive, and puts on his coat and bids his friend adieu. Nas is alright and isn't afraid of work, but so far has not met up with the gent with whom he would pull in double ed, may be reinstated any time before July 1, 1920. The only conditions are: (1) Two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated must accompany the application. (2) The applicant must be in as good health as at the date of discharge, or at the expiration of the grace period, whichever is the later date, and so state in the application. The new ruling is the most important liberalization of War Risk Insurance since the passage of the Sweet bill, and is designed for the special benefit of service men who failed to reinstate their insurance prior to the new law, and who have been discharged more than 18 months. Ex-service men may still reinstate their lapsed term insurance at any time within 18 months following the month of discharge by complying with same conditions. Within three months following the discharge reinstatement may be made by simply remitting two months' premiums without a formal application or statement as to health. Reinstatement may also be made after 18 months following discharge, as follows: If the insurance has not been lapsed longer than three months, by complying with the conditions outlined in (1) and (2) above. From the fourth to the eleventh month, inclusive, after lapse, by complying with the same conditions, and in addition submitting a formal report of examination made by a reputable physician substantiating the statement of health to the satisfaction of the Director of the Bureau. In announcing the new ruling, Director Cholmeley-Jones desires to AUTOMOBILE CENSUS Additional "dope" on its first official motor car census of America has been compiled by the Automobile Club of Southern California showing that at this moment there are 7,718,020 automobiles at large throughout the United States. Furthermore, it is shown in this latest report, that California leads America in the ownership of motor cars in proportion to population, with one car to each 5.6 persons in the state, where last year Iowa and Nebraska were practically tied for first place in this method of computation, with one car to every 7 of population. At that time, California stood seventh in the list of states, with one car to each eleven persons. The West defeats the East in state groupings in the Auto Club's report, it is shown, with California, Washington and Oregon showing a percentage of 1919 gains of exactly 35.4 per cent over 1918. California led, with its forty per cent gain. Washington was next, and Oregon third. The group of states which ranks next to the western group in 1919 percentage gain is composed of the Southern states, which showed a 33 per cent gain in registrations last year. The mountain states maintained the national average of 28 per cent gain, while the eastern manufacturing states fell to 23 per cent gain and the Middle West agricultural states made the poorest showing with only 22 per cent gain in registrations over 1918. Explanation of the variation in percentage registration gain is made by the Auto Club in pointing out the proportion of cars owned in each state group to the population. It is indicated that the "saturation point" has been nearly reached in the Middle West section, where Iowa has one automobile registered to each 6.1 persons; Nebraska, one car to each 6.2 persons; Indiana, one car to each 10 persons; South Dakota, one car to gentlemen about the place are in tip-top condition and always ready to go. Nas has worked at various trades, but unless his boss weighs his words properly and conducts himself in staid and precise manner, Nas ups and tells him to go where icicles were never known to thrive, and puts on his coat and bids his friend adieu. Nas is alright and isn't afraid of work, but so far has not met up with the gent with whom he would pull in double harness. Nas is sort of particular with whom he hooks up, and to tell the truth in several cases in the past he has shown better qualifications to hold down a sitting than the fellow who passed out the pay envelope Saturday nights. And it has come to pass that just so as to keep his hand in Nas has taken over the responsible task of keeping the Overlands, the Studebakers, the Buicks in proper trim, to say nothing of the flivvers, who happen to have owners down around the police station. Nas can tell when a car is hitting all four just by listening, and has the ignition bug at his finger tips. When trouble comes he can get out and under with the agility of a veteran and knows a car in the dark by the honk of its horn. Nas is young and has lots of time to make good in this world, but sometimes the chief says if he doesn't go to work right he will be sorry. HEADED FOR TEXAS, LANDED IN JAIL Dreams of Four Santa Ana Boys Come to Sudden End. Four lads starting out for Texas were responsible for the disappearance of T. C. McCullom's Ford roadster from Santa Ana Wednesday night. McCullom lives at Villa Park and drove into the city and left his car parked on Spurgeon street between Fourth and Fifth. The boys were caught at Oceanside Friday afternoon by City Marshal Debore, when he found them with the machine stalled a short distance outside of the southern beach city. City Marshal Jernigan and Constable Jesse Elliott went down to Oceanside and returned with the boys and machine by complying with the conditions outlined in (1) and (2) above. From the fourth to the eleventh month, inclusive, after lapse, by complying with the same conditions, and in addition submitting a formal report of examination made by a reputable physician substantiating the statement of health to the satisfaction of the Director of the Bureau. In announcing the new ruling, Director Cholmeley-Jones desires to emphasize the fact that War Risk (term) Insurance or U. S. Government (converted) Life Insurance may now be made payable to any of the following new and enlarged group of beneficiaries: Parent, grandparent, step-parent, wife (or husband), child, step-child, adopted child, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, brother through adoption, sister through adoption, stepbrother, stepsister, parent through adoption, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother-in-law, sister-in-law; persons who have stood in the relation of a parent to the insured for a period of one year or more prior to his enlistment or induction, or the child or children of such persons; parent, grandparent, step-parent, or parent through adoption of the insured's wife (or husband). War Risk (term) Insurance may be converted into United States Government Life Insurance, now or at any time within five years after the formal termination of the war by proclamation of the President. United States Government (converted) Life Insurance, including Ordinary Life, Twenty Payment Life, Thirty Payment Life, Twenty Year Endowment, Thirty Year Endowment, and Endowment at Age of 62, may now be paid in a lump sum at death, if such centage registration gain is made by the Auto Club in pointing out the proportion of cars owned in each state group to the population. It is indicated that the "saturation point" has been nearly reached in the Middle West section, where Iowa has one automobile registered to each 6.1 persons; Nebraska, one car to each 6.2 persons; Indiana, one car to each 10 persons; South Dakota, one car to each 6.2 of population and Minnesota, one car to each 8.8 persons. Therefore it is shown that there is not the opportunity offered in the Middle West for the percentage gains possible in the Pacific Coast states and the South. AMERICAN FOREIGN TRADE As an argument for prompt ratification of the Treaty of Peace with the Wilson Covenant attached "without change," it has been stated repeatedly by the defenders of that document that delay deprived the United States of its share of foreign trade—that immediate ratification and a return to peace conditions was the only action possible in justice to the commercial interests of the United States and especially to its foreign commerce. The last report of the Department of Commerce giving the size and extent of America's exports and imports for the calendar year 1919, proves the shallowness of the claim put forth by the administration and its obsequious followers. Exports from the United States to all countries for last year amounted to $7,922,150,502. Imports into the drove into the city and left his car parked on Spurgeon street between Fourth and Fifth. The boys were caught at Oceanside Friday afternoon by City Marshal Debore, when he found them with the machine stalled a short distance outside of the southern beach city. City Marshal Jernigan and Constable Jesse Elliott went down to Oceanside and returned with the boys and machine about 9 o'clock Friday night. The boys had no money—not even enough to buy a gallon of gasoline—and they gave little or no consideration as to how they were going to get something to eat. They stole five gallons of distillate and the attempted use of this fuel was the direct cause of their being apprehended. The impulse to take the car struck them all at once, according to their story. They are now at the Detention Home and there is every probability that they will be placed where they will not give the local police further trouble for most of them have been implicated in thefts and the passing of forged checks recently.

TO TEST LEGALITY OF TELEPHONE PROCEDURE Action Brought by Knowlton Filed in the Superior Court. Designed to test the legality of the procedure under which the Orange County Farmers' and Merchants' Association, a non-profit concern, having for its object the establishment of an independent telephone system, was organized, suit was filed in superior court Friday by the people of the state of California against the association. The action was begun upon complaint of Charles S. Knowlton, resident and taxpayer of Fullerton. The complaint was prepared by Attorneys Marks and Launer of Fullerton, and signed by Leon French, deputy of State's Attorney General U. S. Webb. Among the allegations contained in the complaint were the following: That the articles of incorporation did not state the amount of capital stock and number of shares into which it was divided and its par value. That the articles did not set forth the kind of telegraph or telephone lines intended to be constructed, or the place from which the association intended to run its lines, or the intermediate branches thereof, or the estimated length of its lines, or that ten per cent of the capital stock had, at the time the articles were filed, been subscribed and paid into the treasury, or that there was actually subscribed $100 of its capital stock for each mile of lines to be constructed. That there was not filed with the secretary of state, at the time the certified copy of the articles was filed, or at any other time, an affidavit by the president, secretary or treasurer of the association, stating that any of its capital stock had been actually subscribed or that ten percent ofthe amount subscribed had been actually paid into the treasury for the association's benefit. Among the exhibits attached to the complaint were the articles of incorporation, its bylaws and a copy of the Orange county ordinance under which the association was granted its franchise. His wife, Claudia Alling, winning her suit for separate maintenance, W. T. Alling is under orders from Superior Judge West to pay her $75 per month, following the completion of the trial of the action. Alling had been paying his wife $50 per month, pursuant to a temporary court order. The trial was marked by no testimony of more than usual interest. Mrs. Alling charged her husband with mistreating her during the past four years, and of failing to provide for her the common necessities of life. The testimony revolved about the life of the couple while they lived in the rear of the Cherry Blossom confectionery in this city.
